Implementation is the moment in which previously developed and approved policies are put into action. Implementation of policies, however, is not a straightforward, step-by-step task. Implementation also means interpreting contents and break them down to the practical field level. As the theory gets tested with the reality, implementation very often leads to new policy dialogues, and therewith sometimes even to the adaption of the policies. Documents in this section will provide you with resources to better design and execute practical implementation of policies and how to act best within a given policy framework. It also provides resources on the governance, accountability and the needed oversight of policies.
